We love Watto, and it's hard to see him covered in flies. This is some of the best acting in this movie.

Wheeled vehicles in Star Wars are known as "groundcars". The Juggernaut was a type of canonical groundcar. Although wheeled vehicles are rare, wheeled droids are common, as R2 droids propelled themselves with wheels.
Misquoting that famous line from The Empire Strikes Back as "Luke, I am your father" is an example of the Mandela Effect.
The origin of R2-D2's name comes from the filming of American Graffiti. Apparently, in-universe, his name means "Second Generation Robotic Droid Series-2" [1].
Rickshaws were invented in Japan, circa 1869. The first known use of the word 'rickshaw' was around 1887.
The ninth Padmé outfit was brought up in minute 60.

Asterios: ...it looks like they hit your [Ralph's] face with a brick, and then they took the brick that had some of your face on it and just finished it off on my face.
Asterios: (in dreadful imitation of an Aussie accent). Put anotha Prequel on a barbie. Cuz I'm gonna roast these films. Roastery-dostery doo, mate.
Pete: (singing) ♪ Part-time Krampus ♪
Alex: Is that a [real] wheel theory?
Alex: I would never joke about an Eopie.
Pete: ...No. I am your fart-horse.
Alex: (Paraphrasing Short Round) <robot voice> NO TIME FOR LOVE DR. JONES. GET ON BOARD.
Ralph: It was gonna be one of my weird labyrinthine jokes that takes forever and doesn't pay off so you just go ahead and shout about something. Asterios: That's my whole life.
Ralph: Anything I was going to say has been swept away by this tide of madness.
Asterios: I'm trying to assign any meaning to a meaningless shapeless void!
Pete: It's always nine-twenty somewhere.
Ralph: Don't let the guys from Alphabeatical find out you're doing their material. Pete: That's alright, they're on hiatus; they won't ever find out.
Ralph: They're [Pacithhip legs] tiny. They're about the size of this—nobody tell them how big I indicated.
